pickcolor.py (frigcal utility script)
Select a color, display it on a button, and show its #RRGGBB hex-string value
for copy/paste into frigcal config files, [tT]kinter keywords, or webpage tags.
Use Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V to copy/paste (or your platform's equivalents), and resize
the GUI's window for a larger view of the selected color.  Borrowed from the
book "Programming Python, 4th Edition", with a slightly extended GUI here.
